NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 30 - I'm not furious, I'm just disappointed

My 2C, in order of trade first to trade last:

Chan - I don't see a path to him being fantasy relevant again in the near future.

Talagi - Behind Chan because I think there's a slightly better chance he goes back to starting/being useful eventually if the Eels keep shuffling deckchairs.

Hutch - third because at least he's starting and is theoretically more likely to give you a decent score this week than Chan/Talagi if you had to play him. Not likely, but not inconceivable he scores a 45+ like he did in R4 and beats his BE. He won't play the Storm and miss 7 tackles every week.

Levi - his BE is 28 and he's averaging 29. I think he's probably a sell and more or less peaked, but unlike the others he's still starting with an achievable BE, so the least urgent.

I... didn't tell my groomsmen to wear anything in particular. One guy asked 'dark suit, right', and I said 'yeah'. Then he wore a dark suit. I've been a best man twice, and both time just wore a suit.

Can you just wear a suit?

But if the wedding couple insist on a tux or dinner suit then it makes sense they pay for it.

Cheers for the input lads. Didn’t think it would be so ‘tough’ to yeet some shittos. One of them definitely goes for Iro this week, just in time for his benching next week .

Then either one or two go for a couple of guns/subguns.

Not goal kicking apparently so maybe not field kicking. I wouldn't personally

Currently - taking into account this week's trades, I am good for 13 out of 17 clubs

Just missing

Penrith, Manly, St George Illawarra, and Newcastle

The answer probably depends a lot on the rest of your team. My answer before was based on my composition. I'm dropping Hutch this week because I'm also carrying Hughes and Salmon into the dogs bye next week, Levi because he's likely going to lose money without another try, don't own Talagi but it seems like BA likes him just isn't a clear role for him and I'm keeping Chan because his BE is very low and I'm curious what his role will be this week. I think there's a chance he could get ok mins taking 10-15 each off Blore and Loiero.
